CPAC brings out "traditional values"

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) threw some social conservative red
meat to CPAC-goers on Thursday in a rant against Democrats who
criticize him and members of his party for opposing same-sex marriage
and abortion rights.

"Just because I believe that states should have the right to define marriage in a traditional way does not make me a bigot"

Yes, traditional marriage now means gays cannot marry -- if only there was an analogy we could draw upon? Hmm....oh, look here, as recently as 2009.

A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage
license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the
couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa
Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not
last long.
"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday.

The Republican idea of Hispanic outreach is to drag a Cuban onstage. Cubans hold all other Hispanics in contempt as lesser life forms, and all other Hispanics know it.

He’s just there to hoax the yokels. It’s Eddie Munster’s turn. The last 40 years, Republicans pick whoever’s turn it is. It’s kind of funny, because the last time there was a really open nomination season was 1968. That actually turned out pretty well for them.
